>The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice)...
Ugh! --all of Europe's vast cultural, literary, scientific and mythological heritage to choose from, when naming their craft. And they insist on aping the Americans, with these dull tortuously contrived acronyms.
Oh well, it's good to see that other nations such as China, Russia, UAE, India etc. at least have the confidence and imagination to draw on their own cultural vaults, in such situations.
